[smartPC사랑=남지율 기자] There was a time when the 144Hz refresh rate was emphasized as a necessary condition to enjoy the game comfortably. 144Hz has become the standard for gaming monitors because it exhibits performance optimized for competitive games through a smoother screen implementation than 60Hz.
On the other hand, more and more gamers are now paying attention not only to the refresh rate but also to the resolution. In addition to the large performance improvement of the latest graphics cards, DLSS and FSR technologies, which can easily drive higher resolution games, are also in the limelight.
However, gaming monitors with a high refresh rate implemented in 4K UHD still maintain a high price, and a lot of money is required to configure a gaming PC that can properly utilize them.
As a result, gaming monitors that pay attention to the high refresh rate on the QHD panel, which is between FHD and 4K UHD, are emerging. ‘Dell G2724D (hereafter: G2724D)’ also satisfies this standard and snipes the taste of mainstream gamers.
